Hollywood's fascination with werewolves has fueled a galaxy of scary movies, but the centuries-old legend that inspired them may be the most horrific of all. In the 1700s, more than 100 French villagers were mauled to death by a mysterious creature. A cryptozoologist and a criminal profiler combine their talents in this fascinating study of both the original incident and the hold werewolves continue to exert on our imaginations.
Using clips from classic horror films and contemporary interviews, this cable-TV documentary tries to separate truth from fable in discussing vampires and werewolves -- a task that often proves impossible. After noting that fear of the supernatural stems from mankind's basic terror involving darkness and awe of the moon, the film ticks off several documented cases of "actual" blood sucking and lycanthropy. Among those interviewed are weapons experts, scientists, sociologists, and movie buffs, as well as a few hardy souls who claim to be genuine Dracula and Wolfman clones. Originally slated to air during Halloween weekend in 2003, Fang vs. Fiction: The Real Underworld of Vampires and Werewolves was moved forward two months as an extended promotion for the upcoming theatrical feature Underworld, which, of course, dealt with the same terrifying subject matter.

In 1935, Frank Lloyd Wright designed a country house for the Kaufmann family over a small stream in Western Pennsylvania. He named it Fallingwater. It, perhaps more than any other building, exemplifies Wright's concept of 'Organic Architecture,' which seeks to harmonize people and nature by integrating the building, the site, and its inhabitants into a unified whole. And today, the iconic image of the house over the waterfall, remains a testament to a great architect working at the height of his career. Highlights include interviews with Fallingwater director Lynda Waggoner and architectural historian Richard Cleary, who explain Wright's concept of "organic architecture" and the qualities that make the structure so exceptional.

Pennsylvania encompasses some of the most diverse habitat types in the country due to varying geography: from the ridge and valley mountains cutting diagonally across the state, to upper Piedmont, wetlands, grassland, riparian areas, and even beaches in the Northwest. The variety here is remarkable and as a result, our state is diverse with wildlife. Habitats here are significant to many wildlife species. Come along on a brief journey that touches on Pennsylvania conservation history, and the many species we are working with today. A healthy habitat is a diverse habitat, and we hope to leave a natural legacy that will endure for generations to come.
